Guitar Hero - The Correct Moves

Lots of good vibes today. First was the official 88th credit hour added to my law school career, officially graduating me (late last night, entry below).

Then I get to work and call Bexley Woods again. Got a manager finally and talked her through the situation. She finally admitted fault and dropped the June/security deposit charges. Yay!

Then I go get Disturbed's new album after work. Almost listened to it once through and more opinion later, but it seems much better than the last albums by my two other favorite bands Metallica and Linkin Park. Maybe not as good as Ten Thousand Fists, but close.

And the best news of all - when Guitar Hero: Aerosmith was announced, I immediately said "What the hell...why pick them when Metallica fits so much better?" But Activision said they would likely bring out at least 1-2 more artist-specific releases before or just after the next big Guitar Hero game (was GH IV, now called GH: World Tour). Well today it was announced that the next "expansion" game after GH: World Tour in November 2008 will be GH: Metallica in Q1 2009. Ever since experiencing the joy of playing One on GH:III, I've longed for this announcement. This could be my favorite video game of all time. Also GH:IV will have a pack-in drum set and will be pretty much a full competitor to Rock Band. No real surprise there, but I'm happy to see we'll be able to add the very fun drums to GH in the future. Plus, by waiting to bring out GH:Metallica until now...it will definitely benefit from developers learning from mistakes and feedback in making the original spinoff GH:Aerosmith, and it will almost certainly include all 4 instruments. Simply awesome.

So a great day. But now today is over, and we move onto hump day!
